Jonathan Desrosiers 4ddaf4b5df Build/Test Tools: Disable update attempts while running unit tests.
This fixes an issue introduced in [49369] that causes l10n related tests to fail when the PHPUnit test suite is run multiple times without hints of the site being under version control.

[49369] removed the `.git` folder from the ZIP artifact created during the initial setup job. This ZIP file is used by the later jobs in the workflow that run the test suite. The absence of the `.git` folder in these later jobs caused the language packs initially loaded from `phpunit/data/languages` folder to be updated asynchronously, resulting in unexpected values when running the tests a second time.

This change disables all Core auto-update and asynchronous language pack update attempts when running PHPUnit tests.

Props ocean90, SergeyBiryukov.
See #50401.
Fixes #51670.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
